The fire that destroyed a shanty like home near Brooks Rocks on Sunday night prompts father of 11 year old Michael Grexa Jr to suspect arson. While origin remains unclear, repeated mysterious fires in the area over months raise suspicion of incendiarism, or another theory blames the boy for an accidental blaze by stacking wood beside the stave. Funeral services for the boy will be at Bracken Keating chapel Thursday at 4 p.m. with burial at West Lawn cemetery in Columbus.
